It's claimed over dependency on agency staff is contributing to a high level of cancellations at Ennis Hospital.
Almost 20,000 medical procedures have been cancelled there in the past two and a half years.
While roughly 850 were postponed for reasons linked to overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick, over 10,500 were cancelled by patients.
Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor and HSE Regional Health Forum MidWest forum member Antoinette Baker Bashua has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan all avenues need to be explored to ensure consultant and patient time is managed effectively.
